During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) ripped the protesters for not only tearing Los Angeles apart but for carrying Mexico’s national flag while doing so. “They were literally out there protesting, carrying a foreign flag,” Mullin said. “That is absolutely insane. I mean, they’re not just peaceful protesters. These are illegals. These are exactly why the president is trying to secure our border.” Unsurprisingly, Bash’s first thought was to defend the insurrectionists and ignore the crimes committed

While the legacy media is busy pearl-clutching over President Trump's pardons, they have been mum when it comes to Joe Biden's pardons and commutations including his commutation of the death sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row.Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) joined Erin Burnett on CNN, and he pointed out the glaring hypocrisy.While Burnett whined about the release of J6 political prisoners, once Mullin got started, she could do little more than hang her head in shame."President Biden changed all this. Remember the 37 murderers that he commuted their sentences," Mullin stated."Remember two of them? One that...

At least one GOP Senator is working with pro-migration Democrats to draft a border bill for 2025, a report in Axios.com. detailed Thursday. Oklahoma Republican Markwayne Mullin told the outlet his “serious” project could replace the fast-track reconciliation bill that is now expected to massively fund border security and enforcement in early 2025. “If we can do border separately — without reconciliation — then [President Donald Trump is] okay with” a single reconciliation bill for tax cuts, Mullin told Axios. The details are “very secret,” he said. Several pro-migration Democratic Senators are working with Mullin. They include Sen. Mark Kelly...

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) expressed deep concerns about facing accountability for her opposition to Trump’s cabinet nominees, during her participation in the controversial No Labels National Meeting. Her remarks, dripping with alarm and self-pity, laid bare her growing fear of primary challenges from conservative voters fed up with RINO lawmakers undermining the MAGA agenda.

An Army general who oversaw the US withdrawal from Afghanistan was promoted to a four-star officer after a Republican senator dropped a hold on his nomination, according to a Senate aide. The Senate on Monday confirmed Lt. Gen. Chris Donahue to be the commander of US Army Europe-Africa by unanimous consent, meaning no senator objected to his approval. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, had previously blocked the promotion, despite the Senate Armed Services Committee advancing 984 other military promotions. It was not immediately clear why Mullin dropped his hold, and CNN is reaching out to Mullin’s office for...

Indian Country, just like the rest of America, has a choice to make in this election. One party wants to roll back excess regulation, shrink the administrative state, and promote personal agency and individual responsibility; the other side wants big government to dictate nearly every aspect of American life — from the car you can drive to how you can use your own land. In my view, as a member of the Cherokee Nation, our Native values of tribal sovereignty and self-determination are best aligned with President Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party. I have spent my entire life...

The U.S. Senate on Monday confirmed U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado to the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, making her as the the first Hispanic judge to hold this position. The confirmation came despite a chorus of objections from Republicans who pointed out her massive backlog of trial court cases. The Senate voted 47-43, which hears appeals from Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. This marks the fifth judge appointed by Joe Biden to be confirmed to the court, according to Reuters. Maldonado’s elevation is part of Biden and the Democrats’ agenda to stack the judiciary with liberal figures despite...

@RepMattGaetz @SenMullin is trying to encourage Republicans to sign a DISCHARGE PETITION with Democrats to force the Senate’s “Ukraine First” bill forward! He didn’t have the guts to vote for it in the Senate but wants the House to pass it. I will stand with @SpeakerJohnson to STOP this terrible unpaid-for $95 billion aid bill.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), who challenged a Teamsters boss to a fight last month, on Thursday slammed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for “living off” his “daddy’s money” after Gaetz cited Mullin’s increase in wealth as a reason to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. “I hear @RepMattGaetz has criticism of hard-earned success — he should try building a business that gains value, it’s more gratifying than living off your daddy’s money,” Mullin posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Mullin was reacting to a graphic Gaetz reposted that showed Mullin’s net worth swelled from $12...

Muy Macho Joe Scarborough thinks he is one tough hombre. And Scarborough's manly uber-manliness isn't confined to the serene byways of 30 Rock. To the contrary, Scarborough's machismo extends, quite literally, to the halls of the Capitol! As we noted last year, Scarborough fantasized about beating up a Capitol tourist taking photos somewhere Joe didn't like, making him "eat his camera." Tough stuff! The kind of thing Scarborough no doubt learned while summering on the hardscrabble streets of Nantucket. So it was paradoxical, to say the least, to find Scarborough clutching his pearls this morning over others engaging in tough...

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joined a crop of Tennessee Republicans endorsing former President Donald Trump's 2024 bid. Echoing her Senate counterpart, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), who backed Trump over the weekend, Blackburn lauded Trump's achievements on the economy and border on Monday, framing his election to a second term as the solution to stubbornly high inflation and the influx of illegal immigrants into the United States.

A red wave is coming, Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), leading candidate for the U.S. Senate in Oklahoma, said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday, because Americans are facing real issues, such as inflation driven by high energy costs spurred by President Joe Biden’s administration dismantling American energy independence.The former MMA fighter said he is “beyond excited” to have an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, who called him “an America First Warrior.”“You know, in Oklahoma, everybody likes President Trump,” Mullin said, adding that the endorsement “gives you so much more motivation” to “just put your foot on the floor...

All five of Oklahoma’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are in this Tuesday’s primary election. Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), Rep. Frank D. Lucas (R-Okla), Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) are all seeking reelection, whereas the current representative for Oklahoma’s District 2, Markwayne Mullin, is instead running to replace Sen. Jim Inhofe in the U.S. Senate.

Rep. Markwayne Mullen (R-OK) said the Biden administration is deliberately harming the U.S. economy to create pretexts for further governmental seizures of power and control over society. Inflation of gas prices due to government decrees and policies is part of a broader undermining of U.S. prosperity driven by the Democrat Party to create citizens’ dependency on the state, Mullen stated. “There are three things that a socialist takeover has to control,” Mullen said. “They have to control the education system, the healthcare system, and the energy sector. The energy sector, because the energy sector is the backbone of every economy....

Vice President Kamala Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were criticized Monday for a “tone-deaf” event focused on promoting electric buses as gas prices soared for most Americans.

Harris and her possible 2024 rival Buttigieg teamed up for an event celebrating the first anniversary of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act,...

President Biden "has blood on his hands" regarding the Afghanistan crisis and the Democrat's administration has been lying to the American people, a member of the House Intelligence Committee asserted Friday after returning from the region. U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., shared details of his overseas trip during an appearance on Fox News' "Special Report" with Bret Baier.
